FAQ (Product Questions)
Q: Do SALTPUR Salt Lamps reduce in size or lose their ionizing effect over time?
A: No, as long as you do not place them in water, over time our Saltpur Salt lamps will not reduce in size or lose their ionizing effect.
Q: What is the difference between the natural Saltpur lamps and the Saltpur shaped lamps as far as energy and negative ions?
A. We provide products that bring out the inherent beauty and wellness aspect of the natural materials they are created from. If your interior does not lend itself to our more rough hewn shapes, we do offer gently smoothed lamps that fit nicely into a more polished interior space. We do not promote the machining of “novelty” artificial forms or objects completely unrelated to the ancient crystals they are created from. In our minds, too much manipulation with modern tools negates the beneficial properties of the lamps themselves, as well as, destroying their aesthetic quality.
We choose our lamps by their quality, beauty, integrity and responsibility. We only do the best manufacturing at our manufacturing unit.
Q: How do they ionize?
A: Crystal salt is one of the few minerals whose atomic
structure is bound electrically, not molecularly. This
characteristic of the mineral structure enables the crystal
to change back and forth from crystalline to liquid state.
The gentle heat of the lamp in the salt crystal creates a
higher surface temperature than the surrounding air. This
attracts the water molecules in the cooler surrounding air.
The natural humidity in the air condenses on the crystal's
surface. This enables the electrically bound sodium chloride
mineral to split into independent (positive) sodium and
(negative) chloride ions.
This natural ionization creates an electric charge. After
the water molecules evaporate again, the sodium and chloride
ions turn back into their crystalline mineral form. When the
sun heats up our largest natural salt solutions, the oceans,
it generates the natural energy vibration of which our
entire global environment consists. Salt crystal creates
exactly the same natural energy field. Scientifically
speaking, this natural ionization process takes place
millions of times, invisible to the eye, and without any
influence to the quality of the crystal. Similar to the
concept whereby tree leaves absorb dangerous dioxides and
transform them into essential oxygen, without damaging the
plant.
The atomic structure of crystal salt contains more negative, chloride ions than positive, sodium ions which result in the emission of negative ions during the natural ionization process. Negative ions become dust collectors, attaching themselves to positively charged dust particles and cigarette smoke, purifying the circulating indoors air from dust, bacteria and pollutants.
Q: What size must a Saltpur Salt Lamp be to give the best results?
A: We recommend at least one Saltpur salt lamp per room. The smaller the lamp, the closer you should keep your lamp to you. The more lamps or the larger lamps, the farther you can put them. Like plants, the more healthy living things in your living and working space, the better it is for your health.
Q: What is there to consider?
A: Saltpur Salt Lamps are designed for inside use. Keep them away from water. In case a lamp has become wet by accident or has moisture build up simply leave it on for a while-the heat will be enough to dry up the lamp. Otherwise wipe it with dry damp cloth.
Q: Should I keep my Saltpur Salt Lamp on all the time?
A: To get the best effect, keeping the lamp on as long as possible is recommended. Leaving any electrical unit unattended is not advised.
Q: Does the electric bill go up if the lamps stay on all the time?
A: Our Saltpur salt lamps come with a 15 watt bulb and from my experience with them; I have not noticed the electric bill go up, even with several of them staying lit all the time. It’s same globe like normal fridge globe.
Q: I have tasted salt on my lips by having the salt lamp in my house, is this normal? I actually love it and feel like it has helped me lose weight and have much more energy.
A: We have had a few people tell us that when they have a humidifier or water fountain in their homes next to the salt lamp, they can taste the salt.
Q: I was wondering if you have any studies that detail the quantity of negative ions the lamps produce depending on the size and light?
A: Yes, all of our lamps from the Himalayan get tested. Every lamp emits negative ions. Depending on the size, how each lamp heats, produces a different amount of negative ions. Each lamp heats differently and thus producing different results. We recommend larger lamps or several lamps for larger spaces.
Q: Is it safe to have the Saltpur lamp on all night while I sleep on the night stand? This is my first salt lamp.
A: We do recommend leaving the lamp on as long as possible. Just like any electrical unit, leaving it unattended is not advisable.
Q: How much Saltpur (sole) solution should I take every day?
A: Every morning, take one teaspoon of brine mixed in a glass of good quality artesian or spring water. Drink this on an empty stomach before taking breakfast. The amount of water is up to you, but you only need one teaspoon of sole for your daily intake.
Q: Are there any negative side-effects when drinking Himalayan Salts regularly over a long period of time?
A: One teaspoon of Himalayan Salt contains approximately 411mg of sodium. This very small amount of salt has an incredibly positive effect on your whole body, and normally, does not cause any danger even when taken regularly. But be careful about using commercial table salt. The USDA recommends a daily intake of no more than 2,500mg of sodium depending on your body weight. Himalayan Crystal Salt can be more readily metabolized by the body than refined table salt. This is the reason that it should also be used for seasoning your food and for all your cooking and baking needs.
Q: After taking the Himalayan Crystal Salt on an empty stomach you recommend not to drink any coffee. Does this also apply to black teas, green teas or herb teas?
A: Black teas and green teas are acidic like coffee and have strong diuretic effects. The best is to drink an herbal tea.
Q: Can the Himalayan Salt solution go bad? How should it be stored?
A: The Salt solution can be kept indefinitely. It will never go bad. It can be kept anywhere. It doesn’t have to be refrigerated nor kept in the dark. However, it is recommended to keep it in a closed container to keep it free from dust and other airborne particles.
Q: Is my daily salt solution intake dependent on my body weight?
A: The recommended one teaspoon of salt solution per day is a general guideline for adults who can be adjusted a bit according to one’s own feeling. It’s not a question of “more is better,” but rather the intake of the frequency pattern of the salt solution that is important. One drop of the salt solution would be sufficient. With the teaspoon, you will also cover all the necessary minerals and trace elements. For children, a few drops are sufficient.
Q: Can the Himalayan Crystal Salt also be given to animals?
A: Just as with humans, the natural crystal salt will have its positive effect on the animal body. If you put a few drops into the food, it will increase the vitality and strengthen the immune system of your pet or animal. Otherwise use SALTPUR animal lick salt.
Q: Can I use the Himalayan Saltpur Salt Solution therapy along with my fasting?
A: The Himalayan Salt therapy is a good complement to fasting. It helps to eliminate the toxins and also provides vitality and support to the body as it labors to rid itself of toxins. Just be sure to drink sufficient amounts of water while fasting.
Q: Can I drink the Himalayan Crystal Salt solution in the evening instead of in the morning?
A: The benefits of the Salt Solution therapy are realized best when taken on an empty stomach. You can also do the Salt therapy in the evening but you should keep this rhythm as the body maintains the frequency pattern of the salt for 24 hours.
Q: Does an acrylic salt mill harm the quality of the salt?
A: Only salt mills and grinders having metal grinding mechanisms will cause a reaction with the salt. Ceramic mills and grinders are recommended if you not happy with metal grinders.
Q: Is the Salt anti-allergenic and homeopathic and what natural treatments are they used for?
A: Yes, all the products we offer you are 100% natural, homeopathic, safe, organic and earth friendly. Our products are recommended by Health practitioners, Feng shui experts, Alternative doctors, + many others.
